Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Here's proof that a single voter can make a significant difference on the outcome of our much-criticized gay bars tourney: Even the most popular conference, Dancing, currently has garnered only 17 votes. The Cuff is now tied with Neighbours. Sugar has yet to get even a single vote. Click below and observe how you can change that.

The prize

And why should you care? We're not sure it will make a lot of difference, but here's what the winners will get: Free web advertising.

During February and March, we'll display the logos of five conference champions on our much-visited Gay Bars map page. The single champion after the March Mania tournament will get its logo displayed for two months, April and May. (After that the business would have to become a sponsor of the Queen City Cruise -- which costs several hundred dollars -- to get a logo displayed there.)

Which five get displayed next month? As metblogs said, you'll need to get out your #2 pencil to figure out any of this stuff, but the five logos that will be displayed will be determined by post-regular-season power rankings: Logos of the winners of the five conferences with the most votes will be displayed after a coin-flip tie-breaker if necessary.

(As things stand right now, the winner of the Dancing conference would get top display.)
